“I am always excited and proud to see our company’s volunteer efforts in our communities through our Power to Serve program,” said Dean Seavers, president of National Grid US.” Earth Day at National Grid is about community, but also a big part of the larger responsibility we have in the energy industry. We must find ways to transition to a clean energy future so that our children have a healthy environment for generations to come.”
